Days after locking up a spot in the playoffs for a second straight year, there's been an audible called on the Shorewood-Messmer uniform.

A parent questioned the helmet logo, and that a greyhound and a bishop's hat with a cross, might violate church and state.

"We're choosing to focus on a different question rather than the question of church and state. What we're really focusing on is supporting our kids," Shorewood School District Superintendent Marty Lexmond with.

Messmer Principal Brother Bob Smith said he was surprised by the school board's decision Tuesday night to remove and redo the team's logo. It was created this past year by a Shorewood graphic design class. He said they'll comply but won't apologize for their faith.

"We have no intention of carrying a crucifix into a public school, so changing that logo is not a problem for us," Smith said.

So with just one regular season game left on Friday, the team will wear a new decal.

"What I understand is that they're working on a design that will be a football that will say WIAA playoffs, 2012," Lexmond said.

Both schools said what they don't want to happen with this changed logo is for anything to change on the field

"We have a football team that has grown a very unique story. It's a partnership between a public school and a private school, a suburban school and an urban school and kids that have really learned the life lesson of working together," Lexmond said.

"One thing people will find is, kids will walk on the football field for practice today, no different than they did yesterday," Smith said.
